In this workshop, Prof. David Rolnick will explore opportunities and challenges in machine learning for climate action, from designing new electrocatalysts to monitoring biodiversity. He will also consider how machine learning is used in ways that contribute to climate change, and how to better align the use of machine learning overall with climate goals.

Snacks and other refreshments will be served.

The workshop is free of charge, open to the public, and will be held in person.
